U.S. News wrote: "This Florida Panhandle locale boasts miles of white sandy coastline with many public access points, making it the perfect low-cost getaway. Soak up the sun at the Shores of Crystal Beach Park or shell out a few dollars to enjoy Henderson Beach State Park's pristine Appalachian quartz sand. After a day of lounging on the beach, explore the Destin Harbor Boardwalk or take in a free alligator show at Gator Beach. Four- and five-star accommodations here average less than $200 per night, but for the cheapest rates, avoid visiting during the busy summer season."
